First time visiting. Very loud but fun atmosphere. A lot of choices on tap. On Friday and Saturday a (huge) 5 glass flight is only $12. They have food but we didn't try anything this time. Sat at the bar and service was great even considering a nonstop line of people going up to the bar to place orders. Would go back again!
This is my first time here! My first ever brewery ! Labyrinth Brewing Company began in a crowded garage on a cold autumn Thursday night. It was just a typical brew-club meeting until lightning struck, the planets aligned, and galaxies collided. Long-time friends decided to jump head-first into their dream of owning a craft brewery in the beautiful historic district of Manchester, Connecticut and Labyrinth Brewing Company was born. [1] Pilot Lite Lager Lager - American Light 3.3% ABV A crushable light lager with 100 calories per 12oz serving. Very good! Light and not very strong. "Crushable" means easy to slam it down! [2] Pilot Cosmo Sour Sour - Other 3.3% ABV This cosmo-inspired experimental brew is tart with a refreshing combo of cranberry & lime. Yummy ! It goes well with a Cosmopolitan! [3] The Maize Cream Ale 5.4% ABV For our light beer drinker friends, The Maize has a slight sweet corn character & just a hint of honey . It's a crisp lawnmower beer . Nice. Very slight corn taste and a touch of honey . This is something you drink on a "lawnmower" or after you mow the lawn . [4] Turbo Love Juice IPA - New England / Hazy 6.5% ABV Inspired by one of our favorite metal gods, TLJ is hopped with citra, cascade, loral & ekuanot hops. This pineapple -orange tropical blast has restrained bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel. "Restrained" (not hoppy?) bitterness. Interesting...Very good ! This is more my style ! Stronger and cloudy. Not too bitter. [5] Helios IPA - American 6.5% ABV This double dry hopped IPA is perfect for a sunny day. Bitterness meets aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit, over-ripened berries & pine. Yeah. This is very good ! Nice fruit aromas! Fruit and "pine." An interesting combination. [6] Don't Break the Oats IPA - Imperial / Double New England / Hazy 8.2% ABV As a being now possessed of an oat filled body. In this world I swear to give my full allegiance to this hop filled master. By these names: Idaho 7, Centennial, Sitiva I will crush this beer ! Very good ! The stronger, the better! [8.2% ABV] Double IPA Tonight is WWE trivia night! I'm going for the WWE Trivia Championship Title! [7] Farmhouse Ale - Bière de Garde 7.6% ABV A blonde version of this traditional style with bready malt character, slight sweetness and medium body. Restrained hops lend a slight aroma and flavor from Hallertau Blanc and Perle. Additional clove and banana character from this particular Belgian yeast strain. Yummy ! This might be my favorite so far! [8] Belgian Tripel 9.2% ABV A lighter colored tripel with a very similar bready malt character as the Bière de Garde but with a lighter body and slight alcohol warmth. Using the same Belgian strain as our Quad this yeast produces more restrained phenolic character than found in the Belgian Pale Ale and Bière de Garde. Wow ! This is fantastic! [9] Belgian Quadrupel 10.2% ABV The muscles from Brussels of Belgian beers with a bready backbone and notes of dark fruits. Finishes dry but with a slight sweetness. Aged in former Malbec barrels accentuating the dark fruit character while adding toasted oak notes and tannins associated with red wine. Yummy ! Sweet! [10] Mr Dunkel Lager - Munich Dunkel 5.3% ABV Mr. Dunkel is a traditional German Munich Dark Lager crafted using old school brewing techniques, German malts and hops, and some new school flair. While Dunkel means dark don't let the name fool you. Mr. Dunkel is an easy drinking lager with bready flavors and a malty sweetness similar to caramel and toffee. Malt forward with low hop character and a slightly dry finish wraps this beer up into an easy drinking package. Prost! Nice! Easy to drink. [11] Wail of the Banshee Scottish Export Ale 5.4% ABV Wail of the Banshee reads with a subtle caramel sweetness and a hint of butterscotch. Very good ! Not strong but a little butterscotch is in there. [12] Freezing Moon 2022 Stout - Imperial / Double 11% ABV Aged in bourbon barrels, this elixir will warm you when the icy clutches of the hibernal night grip your soul like a frozen nightmare. Follow the call. Follow the Freezing Moon . Well, I can in last place in the trivia and got the consolation prize (a snack pack)! Delicious ! Sweet and strong ! What an awesome place!
The place was beautiful, they had an awesome DJ last night. wish more people would come to dance but i do enjoy the small crowd. Lots of board games to play which was awesome. The bartender was fantastic, and the frozen espresso martini was to die for! I just wish they turned the heaters off on the patio. It was a gorgeous night and the heaters made it almost impossible to be outside
First visit to Labryth! I was impressed by the amounts of sours and ciders they had on tap. I ordered the Cherry Pie sour and it was so good - tasted just like cherry pie filling! It was pretty packed so we weren't here long, but was able to find a table to hang out for a little. Best part is they're dog friendly inside. There were so many well behaved dogs inside, it was great! Staff was super friendly and even brought out a water bowl for her.
Labyrinth Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Manchester, Connecticut in August 2018. It was founded by friends Adam Delaura, Chris Walnum and Sean Gama. Walnum and Gama met through the Manchester school system, while Delaura met them through mutual friends and interests. The three began homebrewing and eventually they decided to open their own brick and mortar brewery. The location picked was a former waste silk warehouse: part of a compound of buildings that used to be the historic Cheney Brothers silk mills. Today, most of the buildings have been converted into apartments. The three partners quit their day jobs and spent nearly two years converting the space into their brewery and taproom. The name "Labyrinth" was chosen as a reference to their journey towards creating a new business and creating good beer. They like to think of the space as a coffee shop, except that they serve beer instead of coffee. Today, Delaura and Gama are the only owners of the brewery. I visited Labyrinth Brewing for the first time this past Friday while I was cycling the network of bike trails in the Greater Hartford area. I visited a few breweries that day and Labyrinth was my second stop. I really liked the surrounding area: the Cheney Brothers National Historic Landmark District. There were lots of beautiful old buildings. As soon as I walked into the brewery, I was recognized by some of their staff for my blog work. Labyrinth's staff were so hospitable and friendly and they made me feel right at home. I loved the interior with all of the exposed brick and industrial lighting; it was very cozy inside. Amanda, the tasting room manager, introduced herself to me and answered all of my questions. I started out with a sampler flight of six beers which included "Sour Batch 1" (Blood Orange Raspberry Sour Ale), "Turbo Love Juice" (New England IPA), "Man Cave" (Brown Ale), "Wail of the Banshee" (Scottish Export Ale), "Belgian Quad Aged in Malbec Barrels", and "Kuato" (Imperial Red Ale). I was VERY impressed with all of their offerings. Although I tend to prefer IPAs, it was the last three beers of the flight that really caught my attention. I ended up purchasing bottles of the Belgian Quad and "Freezing Moon" (Barrel Aged Stout) to take home. I had a fantastic visit to Labyrinth and look forward to coming back soon!
Labyrinth brewing is simply a"maze"ing! Tl:dr Excellent beer, cider, and sours for great prices and a vibrantly homey atomosphere! The indoor area sports a rustic yet vibrant setting surrounded by lights and wooden furniture that was handcrafted by the owners! The outdoor section is perfect for hot summer evenings. (Note: the outdoor section closes one hour early to accommodate local noise codes.) (Note: Pets are allowed as long as they are quiet.) The service was attentive. They were timely and were able to help with some recommendations from the menu. Great prices for this high caliber of craft brew! Their menu is filled all types of beer, sours, and ciders. Now for the drinks: Overall the drinks were the perfect amount of hoppiness for me. Just a nice tingle on the tongue. The brand new Starburst Blonde ale was light with notes of fruit and a floral aroma. The perfect summer drink! The raspberry cider was rich and bursting with raspberry and grape notes. There was a distinct aroma of olive which was surprisingly provided and uniquely rich combo of taste and aroma! My guest had the Still Alive sour. They noted that it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back to try their ever evolving menu. Follow them on social media to find out what the latest brews are! @labyrinthbrewing on most social channels.
I was super excited to visit Labryinth during its opening weekend. They had 7 beers on tap. Each were available as full pours or sample price. (Growlers start next week.) The beers were definitely solid. My favorite was their lime gose with coriander and juicy Helios. Their rapsberry wheat also was nice and with a little pepper. It's a very nicely-designed brewery in an old industrial building, I believe. There's nice use of wood and cool windows you can peep into to see the brewing area. The bartenders did a good job with the bar area and keeping the beer flowing. You can bring in outside food.
Alicia was a great waitress. Had drinks with a few friends tonight. Not a beer drinker. Wasn't sure what to order. Alicia brought out 3 tasters. The cider and beer I had were great. Facilities were clean and there was a diverse segment of the population. Definitely going back.
Labyrinth Brewery in Manchester is a beautiful space. I've gone here many times through the years. The space is inviting with various lights inside, and outside during the warmer months. There are a few different seating options, at the bar, couch and tables. Sometimes they have live music playing. I love the art they have displayed across the space, they even have paintings on the ceiling. It truly goes well with the vibe of the brewery and is very unique. This brewery doesn't offer any food, they sometimes have a food truck, or you can bring food from another source and enjoy it here. My big problem however, is the selection of beer is very underwhelming. I think I enjoyed it much more in the previous years. Today when I went they were out of the "Cherry in the Middle", which is a good cider. They don't offer any sours, this is very disappointing to me, because that's my favorite type of beer, but I suppose not every brewery makes what I like best. Honestly, it was difficult to pick something for a drink here, they have mostly ciders and IPAs, I prefer ciders in the summer and IPAs are not for me. It's not a great idea for me to get a flight here, as I had a hard time choosing one beer yet alone five. I finally got Raspberry Mochatron. This is a milk stout it's very rich of chocolate and coffee, I couldn't taste raspberry at all. I drank it, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I was also really hungry while we were here, they don't offer any food and there was no food truck. There are some small bags of chips and pretzels. I got a little bag of Drunk Alpaca chips, this is nice since it's a small business of chips that's usually sold in breweries. The bag was only 3 ounces and it was $4. Honestly the chips are just fine, I just needed something to snack on. Labyrinth was very busy tonight. It is dog friendly, I love playing with the puppies when I see them. The service was quick and attentive. I'm underwhelmed by the selection of beers and the availability. As much as the vibe inside is a lot of fun, I wouldn't come here for a while until their selection improves.
We absolutely fell in love with Labyrinth! From the logo and beer names to the awesome staff, this place had it all. A fantastic vibe and so many puppies!!! Pet friendly beyond the normal pet friendly place with dogs on couches, staff giving love to them and water bowls everywhere. A very comfortable setting, seating and tables are roomy. They have cozy windows that peek into the brew room which I adore. My sister described it as industrial but very chic. The front steps are designed in a great way to also serve as a loading dock as needed. The purple bathroom color is a perfect color, I love purple. Also, the beer was actually amazing!! Milk Sickle was my favorite and I don't even really like IPAs. We also enjoyed Hesperia IPA and Man Cave for my husband. The names are so creative and the logos for each beer is art. They also had wine and ciders on tap, soda and a food truck. Great brewery!!
Location: pretty good. Hear of Manchester. Parking: found a few but we came almost at closing. Beer: some more varieties of IPA will be good. Couldn't find much citra hops, they didn't have the DIPA so missed the citra hops. But overall not bad. Loved the Cerberus. Seating: lot of seating so good place to hang out. Music: little loud but there was a live DJ. Some people liked it some didn't in our group, personally I think it's okay. They have Guest WIFI as well. Quite spacious and great hangout place. Definitely great addition to Manchester We missed the food truck but they have food trucks as well. So I would say great place for hangout.
Yeah, I know. Five stars is a bold statement with all the brewery competition these days. But Labyrinth was about as good as it gets when I visited. Beautiful, warm ambiance that was perfect for a cool November night...excellent service from a bartender who gave me four(!) samples of different beers (all fantastic) without me even asking...and most importantly, high quality beers poured into real, honest-to-goodness pint glasses...a rarity in these days of small pours. I'm sure part of my great experience is due to the fact that I was there on a Tuesday night (I heard it gets very busy later in the week and on weekends), but I'll definitely be back.
Labyrinth is one of those breweries that I wish were closer to where we live! It's a modest exterior, but the interior is fantastic with lots of seating, and a really nice bar. At the time of our visit, they were also dog friendly, but always check before you bring your dog, as laws and enforcement are subject to change. Anyway, there's a lot of history in this district, and some of it is on display here as well. There's some decor that references the Cheney family, and that was cool to learn about, as I wasn't familiar with the history. The vibe is overall super chill and friendly, lots of regulars and visitors like us. They have a bar setup for ordering as opposed to designated lines, which adds to the chill feel. The staff are really friendly, and happy to talk to you about the beer. They have flights, and the beers overall are really great, with a lot of interesting different styles on tap, mostly IPAs but they have a few other things on offer. I liked the Greek mythology naming theme as well. Connecticut has a plethora of good breweries, and this is definitely one of them!

I went to Labyrinth back in March. I am so sad it's closing!! Went on a dark and stormy night, but the place was booming! The atmosphere felt less like a traditional brewery and more like a bar. There were some balding late 20s men near our table and one sloppily spilled beer across the way (on me), & avoided eye contact when I stared at him. Classic. The two beers I had were great! The atmosphere was a little too rowdy for my taste in breweries though. read more

I stopped by here this past Thursday afternoon for some after work beers. Labyrinth Brewing is located an industrial part of Manchester and the parking lot was nearly full. We arrived to the brewery at right around 5:30 and as you would expect from a full parking lot, the place was decently full. The longer we stayed the busier it got too which seemed crazy to me for a Thursday night after work and by the time we left I counted 70+ people that I could see! It does have a great inside feel to it with lots of exposed wood including the floor, tables and roof and then exposed brick walls as well. All of that actually made the building feel historic and a little more cozy. To help out with that, one of the corners had a portable fireplace which was on and the chandelier was large and felt old school with the yellow orange lights. They also had orange lights behind the bar which were reminiscent of candles inside lanterns which was actually pretty cool. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight. At Labyrinth Brewing Company this consists of 5 beers and each have their own price which ranged from $2.50 to $3.50 the night I was there. I ended up choosing the Milk-sickle (milkshake IPA), Helios (NEIPA), Bugbear Warlord (ESB), Man Cave (Brown Ale) and Wyverns Boysenberry Wheat. For the bunch my total was $14 which seemed a little steep but at least they felt like reasonable pours. For my first beer I started out with the Boysenberry Wheat. It was a nice and red colored beer which started out with flavors of the boysenberry before finishing with your normal wheat beer flavor. It was very drinkable and I could see myself sitting out on the porch in the summer enjoying a few. The second beer that I tried was the Bugbear Warlord. In general I am a fan of ESB's and this one definitely delivered although the bitterness continues past the finish and left a not so great flavor in my mouth. Up third for me was the Man Cave which had the caramel flavor of a brown ale before finishing with a smokiness which I dug. The fourth beer I tried was the Helios and boy did I like this one. As an IPA it was dank and juicy with a citrus profile that lasted past the finish. Even though it was titled a NEIPA, it felt a lot more West Coast to me. Last but certainly not least was the Milk-Sickle which i was expecting to be the best and sold me to head to Labyrinth. It was as good as expected with a creaminess to it as well as a creamsicle like flavor which went along perfectly with the hops. Out of the bunch, I think I enjoyed the Milk-sickle, Helios, Boysenberry Wheat and Man Cave in that order and I would not order the ESB again. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed the beer but make sure to arrive early though as this place was bumping by the time we left. read more

Friendly staff, super nice interior, and GREAT beer choices. They also have ample parking and food trucks. Most importantly, they allow PUPS, my girl was pampered with love and some treats made from hops. Really a nice crowd here. read more

Loved it! Great beers and a very warm and cozy environment. Games on the tables to play and couches if you prefer to sit and stay for a while. The assortment of beers and ciders was excellent and we were able to choose a flight where we enjoyed just about every beer included. We also tried some ciders and found those to be good as well. They had snacks like pretzels that you could purchase which is always nice. It's a place where you can bring your own food or have your food delivered their. There is a crepe truck in the parking lot where you could text your order and then go pick it up. We tried that and it was excellent. They had a 2 piece hand who played what I consider my kind of music which is from the seventies and folksy. They were so good and it was just a relaxing place to try some new beers. They also have a table set up for the POW's and MIA's which showed a great deal of respect and I thought that was a wonderful touch on Veterans Day weekend. You go up to the bar and order your own beers and bring them back to your table to enjoy. There were a number of children there which I found unusual but I am seeing is a pattern at these breweries. I guess it's just that younger generation and that's okay. It's just a little different for me. Definitely will return. read more
Nice brewery. Group of five of us, went to, on a Sunday afternoon. It was a crowded, noisy, comfortable place, with children and dogs. Tables had games to play to pass the afternoon. This day, there was a duo singing the afternoon away. Had a flight of beer and enjoyed a few of them. read more

Well, we finally visited Labyrinth Brewing Company! We had heard so much hype about it, so we took the plunge!! The atmosphere in it is beautiful! It was built within an old mill and had exposed bricks! The lighting is a low glow. They only had 4 beers on tap as well as some wine and cider. We were hoping for some more beer options. However we had an oatmeal stout and a cream ale. They were both nice. The service was good too read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon to grab some lunch and some good beer with my boyfriend. We got sandwiches from the food truck outside and then came in for a flight of beer. A flight ran $12.50 and you got to try all 5 beers on the menu. The maize was really good and tasted a lot of corn! I also loved the stout. It'd recommend a visit! read more

Is there any sort of outdoor seating?
Things have changed since this was asked/answered. Quite a long time ago, actually. Yes, they now have outdoor seating. I'll add a photo shortly that I lifted from their social media page.
Dog friendly brewery?
I've seen dogs there, but I'd suggest leaving them home during the busy hours... the place can get pretty packed.
